Abstract
A herd health program, replacement heifer selection, cow nutrition, calving management and more are covered here.
Seventy-five to eighty percent of the death loss in calves occurs at birth or in the first two weeks of life. Many factors affect the livability of the calf, including: nutrition of the heifer and the cow, calving difficulty, sanitation in the calving area, and management of the cow-calf pair after calving.
